Li'l Cap'n Travis

Pure Americana.
Austin's Li'l Cap'n Travis mixes and matches seemingly disconnected genres into an unimaginable yet highly listenable whole.

BONUS:
The vintage footage seen in this video is from this 1963 Bicycle Safety Film entitled "One Got Fat".
A group of monkey-masked kids decide to ride their bikes to the park for a picnic. Along the way, one by one, the kids are knocked out of the ride due to careless or unsafe riding.

My New Favorite Song

"Hailing from Canada The Sadies have been going at it since 1998. Core members are lead singer/guitarists Dallas and Travis Good, it’s like someone locked them in a room when they were kids with nothing but ventures, byrds, various garage rock records, and two guitars. What came out is damned good. They can play…..buddy can they play. Some of the best b-bender licks since Clarence White invented the damned thing." - A Truer Sound
